hi all
just thought i would post up a couple of pictures of how my xr front end conversion is going. the front bar is booked in to be painted on Monday but it will have to live with a slightly mismatching bonnet for a little bit though :( i was kinda hoping to wait till i had the bonnet but i was getting some "pressure" to get the parts out out of the shed. anywho its coming together nicely   in the second picture the bar is just sitting there i pulled it off right after the pic and put it back in the shed |

 the bar i got from ford at trade price which was still $1100  :i think they are $1300+ retail skirts came from fibresports the rest i picked up from ebay for a couple of hundred i got it in bits and pieces as they came up also i got the lights fairly cheaply because i got a couple of sets of broken ones and combined parts/beat brackets straight with a hammer to get a working set. I have my name down on the fibreglass bonnet with BA bulge thread but im starting to think thats never going to get off the ground :( Im still undecided if i should get the side stripes painted or leave them black. they look not too bad black. i might even get them painted black so they are all shiny instead of that raw plastic look

top stuff mate. A little mod to the front of the gli bonnet to fill in the gap would look sweet. Keep that bulged section on it, would look different.

If you modified that bonnet so that the two bits over the lights on each side were done properly, then the middle would look cool.

Looking pretty good, but it definitely needs the XR bonnet I reckon.
